12. Types of Operator part2

 

6. Conditional Operator

Also known as the ternary operator, it returns one of two values based on a condition.

• Ternary (?:): If condition is true, return value1; else, return value2.

  int max = (a > b) ? a : b; // max is 5
  

7. Compound Assignment Operator

These combine an arithmetic operation with assignment.

• Add and assign (+=): Adds right operand to the left operand and assigns the result to the left operand.

  a += b; // a becomes 8 (5 + 3)
  

• Subtract and assign (-=): Subtracts right operand from the left operand and assigns the result to the left operand.

  a -= b; // a becomes 2 (5 - 3)
  

8. Increment and Decrement Operator

These are used to increase or decrease the value of a variable by 1.

• Increment (++): Increases value by 1.

  a++; // a becomes 6
  

• Decrement (--): Decreases value by 1.

  a--; // a becomes 4
  

9. Miscellaneous Operator

Other useful operators.

• Instanceof: Checks if an object is an instance of a specific class or subclass.

  
  String str = "Hello";
  boolean result = str instanceof String; // result is true
